I cannot stress enough how much i love oden!!!

The day i arrived in Japan (end of September) was also the day the convenient stores started to introduce Oden again, due to the sudden weather change!

And then Family Mart was having an Oden sales!!!! All items only 70 yen!

Among all convenient stores, I love Family Mart the most (and Lawson, because they have the most variety of stuff), because it just has the best oden.

And also, IT GIVES YOU FREE FOOD.

I bought a drink from Family Mart and at the cashier, the shop staff smiley-ly asked, “would you like some free nugget?” read more

Nagasaki 2013 Part 2!

Part 1 HERE.

Anyway, when it comes to Nagasaki, it automatically means live squid eyeball.

This time nobody shove the eyeball into my mouth. Probably they are very rude and don’t care about us.

After that it ended up in our plate again, this time sun-tanned.

What is Nagasaki without sashimi so fresh it is still moving. Was so so so good.

BREAKFAST

Our breakfast at the hotel is amaaaaazing.

Nagasaki food is very much influenced by Chinese culture, so there’s the famous sara udon (the one like HongKong Yee Mee), sweet and sour prawn, xiao long bao, etc etc! Everything was so yummy! read more

So i was back in Japan for a very short 3 days! Not even enough to warm Japanese toilet seats wtf. Eh wait. They are already warm.

It was also the first time i traveled to Japan without the danna. It was such a strange feeling. I was very very happy to be back, and when i left the airport i felt sad as usual, but more than sad i also felt super happy to be back cuz i miss him so much wtf. It was all very confusing lol.

I had to play an amateur tour guide for the work team because i was the only one who can speak Japanese. And now i think maybe i can just quit blogging and show people around Tokyo for a living, cuz turned out it was such and easy job. Everybody seemed to enjoy the food of a random restaurant i picked! It’s most of the time hit-and-hit lol. read more

First of all i want to apologize for spamming food pictures in puasa month. I’m writing this after buka puasa today except i cannot really control the timing you read this, so sorry T__T.

Anyway, after part I, i had another week in Japan so this is part II of it!

Also i received a lot of requests for my fav food guide in Tokyo. I can’t possible recommend all my favorite food because it will take years. Here’s a mini one! It’s listed by food category.

1. Ramen

Want to know my favorite Ramen shop?? read more

Today is the danna’s birthday, we decided to go for something simple, so we went to his favorite Okinawan restaurant.

It’s an old, narrow little izakaya in Shibuya.

And here’s what we had:

1

Okinawa Shikuwasa juice. No, the owner isn’t that stingy lol. I almost finished drinking it before i realized i haven’t had a picture of this yummy fruit juice.

2

Salted cucumber.

3

Stir fried Goya Champuru (bitter gourd) with tofu and egg.

4

Stir fried stomach with leek and mushroom read more

Spring edition HERE

My foodie group chat friends on Whatsapp hate me so much right now because i keep sending them (on purpose) food picture i have for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This is their response.

LOLOLOL

Here are the food i had during the first week of my stay in Tokyo here!

(Yes i ate them all. No i haven’t gained weight.)

Nagasaki Chanpon

Just had this for dinner today! It’s a Nagasaki version of ramen and it’s super healthy (25 types of different vegetables in a bowl!) read more

After fashion, of course there’s food! 😀

Every time i post a food picture on Instagram, confirm i will receive at least 5 “ewww“s and “gross“s no matter what food it is! (including Mango shaved ice, believe it or not!!)

But to be fair to people who are not familiar with Asian food (most of the commenters are Western), it indeed might look a bit gross. But here are some of the noms i had in Tokyo, and i will introduce them! 😀

#1

First meal in the morning!

It was cold and rainy the first morning and i had to rush to Yoyogi Park to meet RinRin for hanami (sakura viewing) so this is an instant tummy warmer! It’s called Corn Potashu (corn soup), and bought it for 90 yen from the combini (convenient store). read more

Haro brainwash time!

So many different types of Ichigo!

We pretty much spent our Halloween night in prison. And we literally teared blood.

The prison is called The Lockup. Or rather, Za Loku Appu. In Japanese lololol.

RinRin and i didn’t fancy clubbing so we decided to spend our Halloween night at these fancy themed restaurant in Shinjuku (there’s another one in Shibuya).

More on that later!

But this time we decided to go all out for Halloween! No one can beat 4-eyes Ozaki Sayoko but given only 3 hours and limited budget, i thought we did a pretty good job! read more

Normally i don’t do food post but this is JAPAN!!!!!

Here are some of the yummiest things i ate while i am here. Every time i take a bite the first thing i say to the kareshi is “ii na nihon ii na ii na~” (means Japan is awesome lolol and i sound like an ambulance HAHAHHA) and then i wonder how can Japanese people survive anywhere else when their standard of nom is so high. I mean if i live here all my life i probably cannot get used to eating anything else. T___T. The ratio of good food to bad food is like 1:0 lol. There’s no such thing as bad food. Mediocre food is considered bad food lol. read more

It wasn’t even a joke. Unlike killing sixteen-eared raccoons for a bowl of Okinawa Soba. That was a joke. I mean, i will NEVER kill a sixteen-eared raccoon because ears are very precious. Plus we are allowed to eat squid right? Right???

Ok imma blog about my first LIVE SQUID experience. You guys should get a bucket or something. Just in case.

I had no idea what it was about i just blindly followed the native kareshi into the shop not knowing that someone’s gonna shove a LIVE SQUID EYE BALL into my mouth wtf. read more
